Halide gets updated with Rescue and improved raw support

Halide is arguably the best camera application on iOS and is now even better in its latest version 1.16 update. With this, the developers are improving the raw capture experience, memory management and also introducing something new called Rescue. Let's talk about Rescue first. Rescue is a data loss protection feature that prevents losing images in case something critical goes wrong while shooting. It could be something like the phone running out of battery, getting a call or just a bug in iOS or Halide that could cause the shot you've just taken to never be saved to the photo...

iPhone 9 could be made official on April 15, new rumor says

The upcoming Apple iPhone 9, the successor to the iPhone SE from 2016, has been rumored for a long time now, and it looks like we're finally getting very close to its official introduction. A few weeks ago a report talked about the phone being delayed indefinitely because of the COVID-19 outbreak, but apparently Apple may have had a change of heart. According to a new report, the company held an internal meeting to discuss how to proceed, and the conclusion of said meeting is that the iPhone 9 will get official on April 15. It will then become available on April 22. It's unclear if the...

Samsung Galaxy S20 series is already receiving the April security update

Samsung has recently had an interesting track record regarding Android security updates, which have at times come out before Google had a chance to release them for its Pixels. The situation is the same this time around. The Galaxy S20 family is now receiving an update that includes the April 2020 security patch level. So far the rollout is happening in Taiwan and Hong Kong, with Korean units set to receive it very soon. Aside from the new security fixes, the new software also packs some general camera improvements. The build number is G98x0ZHU1ATCT, where "x" is to be a different...

Nokia 7.2 gets Android 10 update

Today HMD Global has announced the start of the rollout of the Android 10 update for the Nokia 7.2. This phone was released last September, running Android 9 Pie. Although it, like most other Nokias, is part of the Android One program, which in theory should ensure quick Android OS upgrades, obviously that's not working out as it should. Android 10 has already been out for more than six months at this point, and countless other handsets that aren't part of Android One have been updated to this version. Anyway, let's call it "better late than never". HMD's rollouts have apparently...

UAE lifts ban on Google Hangouts Meet, Cisco Webex and other VoIP services

The global COVID-19 crisis has pretty much reverberated in every aspect of life around the world in one way or another. One thing most companies and governments have really started to re-evaluate and kick into full throttle is remote working. A new decision in the United Arab Emirates comes as a great example. Officials there have decided to lift bans on Google Hangouts Meet, Cisco Webex, Avaya Spaces, BlueJeans and Slack. All services previously officially unreachable from within the country. The connection between these is clear and this decision comes hot on the heels of another...

The OnePlus 8 phones will have an S865 chipset, LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.0 storage

OnePlus is committed to delivering a "fast and smooth" user experience. To achieve that, it needs the right combination of hardware and software, says CEO and co-founder Pete Lau in a forum post that talks about the improvements that the company's R&D team built for the upcoming OnePlus 8 phones. They will be powered by the Snapdragon 865 chipset, no surprises here. The new chip promises 25% increases in CPU and GPU performance while reducing power usage by a quarter. It also has more power efficient video encoder and DSP. The new chipset will be connected to faster RAM - LPDDR5. It can...

Huawei details new EMUI 10.1 features, confirms first phones to get it

It's no secret that Huawei's software division has been working double-time, ever since the begging of the whole US spying scandal and the ongoing fallout. Most of these efforts have, understandably, been directed towards Huawei's own Mobile Services, in a push to fill major holes left by the departure of the Google Mobile Services. In fact, the hard work is already bearing fruit , even if the battle is far from own. Alongside all this, work has also continued on other aspects of EMUI, which saw its 10.1 version debut on the Huawei P40 Pro. Now Huawei has stepped in to detail the key new...

The Samsung Galaxy S20 has an unofficial 96Hz refresh rate mode, you can enable it with an app

Samsung's Galaxy S20 trio supports 120Hz screen refresh rate, the company's first phones to go over 60Hz. But unlike other phones with high refresh rate screens, there's no middle ground - it's 120Hz or 60Hz. That's the case officially, but it turns out that the phones have a hidden 96Hz option. It can be enabled via ADB, but XDA forums member SatySatsZB created a much more convenient solution - an app you can download from here. It places two toggles in your status bar that let you switch between 96Hz and 120Hz. The S20 Refresh Rate Controller app • It places quick toggles in the...

Samsung is discontinuing LCD production by the end of 2020

Samsung has been a major manufacturer of LCD panels for smartphones in the past several years, but this is about the end. Reuters reports that the Korean company is planning to end the production of these displays in the factories in China and South Korea by the end of this year. The company revealed in a statement that the plants in its home country will be upgraded to be production lines for quantum dot screens - the more advanced panels that Samsung markets as QLED. The decline in demand across the globe for LCD panels for smartphones and TV screens is the main reason for the...

Huawei: The US ban caused a significant slowdown in our business

It's been almost a year since the US government blacklisted Huawei, banning local companies from doing business with the Chinese giant. That in turn resulted in the company losing its Android license and hurt its smartphone sales anywhere outside of China. And the company says it's hurting its business a lot. Despite the increase in revenue by 19.1% year-over-year, the president of Huawei's Western Europe business, Vincent Pang, says that 2019 was a big challenge for the firm. Without Google Services, Huawei's phones are really hard to sell abroad. And the a resolution of the...

Motorola delays RAZR sales in India to April 15

Motorola announced today that it is delaying the sales of their new flagship RAZR phone in India. The company has pushed back the sales date from the previously announced April 2 to April 15. The delay is due to the current lockdown in India set to go until April 14, 23:59 IST due to COVID-19. The government has halted the sales and delivery of all non-essential items and as such, even if Motorola wanted to, it can't realistically get the devices in people's hands before April 15 anyway. The RAZR already had a delayed launch in India, with the initial announcement and pre-orders...

Huawei P40 Pro's rear and front cameras post the high scores in DxOMark's tests

DxOMark just crowned a new camera king - the Huawei P40 Pro, which achieved the rare feat of topping both the rear and selfie camera charts. The overall score makes a clean break from the pack, previously the 6 best-rated phones fell in the 124-121 range. The P40 Pro scored 128. Even better, the still camera score of 140 sets a new record. The TL;DR here is "impeccable performance across all sub-categories". Reading through the individual sub-tests, you'll either see a "Highest Score" mark or that the Huawei is within a few points of the best competition. Huawei's efforts to build the...

The Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra will be getting a new color soon

The Galaxy S20 Ultra launched with a lackluster color palette - Grey and Black - but reliable leakster Ice Universe claims that a new color is coming soon. Not an Aura Glow as some suggested on Twitter, though - the source is keeping quiet on the exact hue. The Galaxy S10 5G also launched with a limited selection of colors, primarily Black and Silver, but at least it had the Royal Gold to add some variety. The Galaxy S20+ Olympic Edition is also gold, so that's a strong candidate. The Galaxy S20 Ultra (right) looking drab next to its more colorful siblings There are more possible...

Q4 of 2019 saw HMD turn first profit, but sales are dwindling

HMD was able to turn in its first positive quarter in Q4 of 2019. The company says the combination of using multiple ODMs to make Nokia phones and a more focused approach in selected markets is what led it to its first profitable quarter. The quarter was by no means all good news, as according to one analyst report HMD managed to sell under 3 million devices. HMD turned to a multi-ODM strategy to assemble Nokia phones due to a supply chain disruption in the first half of 2019. Reportedly the first devices to be manufactured by two new ODMs were the Nokia 2.2, 3.2 and 4.2. Using...

Poco Exec: Redmi K30 Pro will not come to India as Poco F2

During an online webinar with tech enthusiasts and members of the media Poco India general manager Chandolu Manmohan, confirmed that the recently launched Redmi K30 Pro will not come as the Poco F2 or Poco X2 Pro in India. The new confirmation comes after a report from last week which found a "shot on Poco watermark" corresponding to the Indian Redmi K30 Pro variant hidden in a code string of the MIUI 11 beta Camera app. This does not rule out the possibility of the K30 Pro coming to India under the Poco brand but just that it won't be called Poco F2 or X2 Pro. In addition, Manmohan...

Honor 8A Pro gets rebranded to Honor 8A Prime in Russia

The Honor 8A Pro arrived in Russia almost a year ago, but today the company decided to relaunch the very same device under a new moniker - Honor 8A Prime. It is the very same Helio P35-powered device, but with a new color - Emerald Green. Given the phone was a year old and was a budget device to begin with it's hardly a surprise that its internals are modest. The Mediatek chipset is coupled by 3 GB RAM and 64 GB storage, with a microSD slot for additional 512 GB. There is a single 13MP camera on the back, and an 8MP selfie shooter in a waterdrop notch. The Honor 8A Prime keeps the...

iPhone 9 cases arriving at retailers in the US

It seems the launch of the long-rumored successor to 2016's iPhone SE might come sooner than expected. According to new reports, the iPhone 9 may launch as early this week as evident by the April 5 merchandising date for a case that made its way to Best Buy. The box for the Urban Armor Gear protective case clearly states it's designed for the New iPhone 4.7", 2020 and we can see it features a similarly-sized camera cutout as other iPhone 7 and 8 cases. iPhone 9 case Apple introduced its latest iPad Pros and Macbook Air last week and given that the iPhone 9 is not a flagship, it...

Honor 30 and 30 Pro arriving on April 15

The Honor 30 flagship family will be officially introduced on April 15, the company revealed on Weibo. The phone's brand ambassador is the popular Chinese actor Li Xian, and for the promo poster he posed with the phone, hiding pretty much everything on the back, showcasing only the silver-purple-ish color. The Honor 30 family already has its first member - the Honor 30S was introduced yesterday with Kirin 820 5G chipset. It is the lowest standing member of the lineup and we expect at least two phones to join it - Honor 30 and Honor 30 Pro. They are likely to sport the Kirin 990 5G...

Google no longer sells the Pixel 3 or 3 XL

Google's online Store no longer carries the Google Pixel 3 or Pixel 3 XL. A Google spokesperson has confirmed to Android Police that Google has ceased sales of the third-generation Pixel smartphone. The Google Store still sells the Pixel 3a, Pixel 3a XL, Pixel 4, and Pixel 4 XL. Even if you managed to find the landing page for the Pixel 3, which isn't accessible from the Google Store navigator, all storage sizes and carrier configurations are out of stock. Last year, the Pixel 2 and 2 XL ran out of stock at the Google Store in early April, so the timing is about right. The Google...

Astro Slide 5G Transformer smartphone comes with a slide QWERTY keyboard

In a world where smartphones become more and more universal in looks, a bunch of enthusiasts decided to try and shake up the market a bit with the Astro Slide 5G Transformer. This is a 5G handset that has a slide QWERTY keyboard, just like the beloved 10-year-old Nokia E7. The form factor is the most intriguing part here since specs-wise it is more of a midranger - the chipset is Mediatek Dimensity 1000 and for some reason, the inventors of this device call it "the fastest 5G device to be announced to date", even though there are currently phones with Snapdragon 865, Exynos 990 or...

Google makes the Pixel 3a even cheaper in the UK until April 21

With the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic, perhaps buying a new smartphone isn't very much on your mind these days. But then again, what if your current phone broke in some way? You might not want to splurge on the thousand-pound devices out there, so Google has a deal for you. Starting today and until April 21, the already decently priced Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL are getting even cheaper. The smaller model can be yours for £299, while the XL version is now £369. In both cases, the price is £30 lower than before. Not a huge amount of savings, this, but hey, every penny counts in these...

One UI 2.1 might not be headed to the Galaxy S9 and Note9 after all

Earlier this month we found out that Samsung was apparently readying the update to One UI 2.1 for the Galaxy S9, S9+, and Note9. The information came from a company representative posting on the company's official Korean forum. Now though, a different post on the same forum by another representative strongly implies that at the time Samsung has no plans to bring One UI to its flagship models from 2018. Of course such plans might change in the future, but given how the company only focuses on security updates after two years pass from a phone's initial release, we wouldn't hold our...

ZTE Axon 11 5G goes on sale starting at $379

ZTE introduced its newest creation to the world exactly one week ago, on March 23. We're talking about the Axon 11 5G smartphone. Today it has officially become available online in the company's home market of China. You can grab an Axon 11 5G from CNY 2,698, which roughly translates into $379 or €344 at the current exchange rates. This amount of cash nets you the variant with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. If you want the 8/128GB model, you'll have to pay CNY 2,998 ($422, €382), and if you go all in with 8/256GB the price is CNY 3,398 ($478, €433). The phone may or may not be...

The nubia Red Magic 5G is arguably one of the more exciting phones lately, with a one of a kind 144Hz screen and unique thermal design. Well, if you are curious to take a peek inside the hardware, make sure you watch the video down below. It goes through the whole process of disassembly revealing every small bit about the handset. And there are a couple of key takeaways from the teardown. First off, the handset has one hell of a beefy cooling solution. It consists of an aluminum plate sitting right between the motherboard and the back panel, metal shields covering the back and front of the...

Oppo Reno Ace 2 leaked image confirms four cameras in a circular setup

A leaked render, aligning with previous leaks, confirms the Oppo Reno Ace 2 will have four shooters, lined up symmetrically in a circular setup. The image also showcases the front of the phone - it will come with a flat screen and a fingerprint scanner underneath, given the lack of any cutouts for a side-mounted sensor. The selfie camera will be in a punch hole in the upper left corner. According to TENAA, the phone is coming with a Snapdragon 865 chipset, up to 12GB RAM and a 6.5" OLED screen. The battery is expected to be around 4,000 mAh and Oppo reps revealed it will sport 40W...

More sources confirm sleep tracking and blood oxygen sensor support in new Apple Watch

There's growing evidence that the upcoming watchOS 7 will feature sleep tracking and a blood oxygen monitor. This was rumored previously, but now more sources are confirming the new features. This obviously suggests that the new Apple Watch Series 6 will support these features, but the new OS will also be rolled out to older watches. However, the reports claim that only the Watch Series 3 and newer will get the new software, meaning that support for Series 1 and 2 is ending (these two did receive watchOS v6.1 after they were skipped over for the v6.0 update). The blood oxygen feature...

OnePlus 8 Lite to actually be called OnePlus Z

Rumors are currently pointing towards two new OnePlus phones coming on April 14 with a third one to follow later on. The one to be possibly delayed is the alleged Lite variant to this year's flagship lineup. And now a new report claims to have its name - instead of 8 Lite it will called OnePlus Z. This in turn means that the OnePlus Z is going to be more of a mid-range handset rather than an affordable flagship. It's in line with the report saying it will use a MediaTek Dimensity SoC instead of the flagship Snapdragon 865. And the news was confirmed two separate sources so it seems...

OnePlus 8 series launch scheduled for April 14

AKG N400 pack the noise cancellation and waterproofing that the Galaxy Buds+ are missing

The Galaxy Buds+ lack active noise cancellation (ANC) and waterproofing, but the newly announced AKG N400 offer both. They do cost about 30% more, but they are still much more affordable than the AirPods Pro. The N400 is a pair of true wireless earbuds. They have 8.2mm drivers and come with a selection of tips, including Comply foam tips. The buds on their own last 6 hours (5 hours with ANC enabled), the case adds 6 more hours to the playback time.

Alleged Redmi Note 9 spotted at 3C with 4G connectivity, 22.5W fast charging support

Xiaomi is preparing several new Redmi models for launch - the latest to make the mandatory trip through the 3C is the M2003J15SC, likely to be the Redmi Note 9 or even the Redmi 9. It will have 4G connectivity, unlike the M2002J9E we saw a few days ago, which packs a 5G modem. Both phones have something in common - the 22.5W fast charging support. However, this one is manufactured by Xi'an BYD Electronics, the 5G phone is made by FIH. The 5G phone may be a branded as a K30 device while this 4G handset will likely fill a gap in the Redmi Note 9 series (namely, the non-Pro model). The...

Oppo Reno5 Series is coming in May

According to a new report from China, Oppo's Reno5 series will launch in May. The news comes from reliable leakster Digital Chat Station and is the latest example of the shortening product cycles in the smartphone world.

Amazon Germany is ahead of schedule and already put the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite on pre-order and set the release date as April 2. This is the LTE version of the tablet and is priced at €430. There will almost certainly be a Wi-Fi only version, but no 5G one - if you want to go faster than 4G, you'll have to get a Galaxy Tab S6 5G instead.

There's no word on the panel type or the chipset, but a previous leak pointed to LCD (instead of AMOLED...

LG is reportedly killing off the G-series to make way for a new Chocolate lineup

A report from South Korea claimed that the LG G9 will be relegated to mid-range status, but now additional info has surfaced as to why. Reportedly, this is a branding shake-up spearheaded by LG Electronics VP Yeon-Mo Lee. The goal is to bring back the LG Chocolate brand, which was popular before smartphones took over. It was a design-focused series that had some memorable entries like LG BL40 New Chocolate and its 21:9 screen (unheard of back in 2009). The LG G9 itself won't be a throwaway phone, claims the report. The company put a lot of effort into it, making it "very different"...

Top 10 trending phones of week 13

We thought week 12 was eventful, but it has nothing on the past seven days, which brought by far the most dramatic change to our trending chart ever. Only three members of last weeks' top 10 make it to the new edition with the highest placed being fifth. Huawei is by far the biggest winner, its newly announced P40 Pro and P40 Pro+ taking the top two spots. The final position on the rostrum goes to the surprising arrival that was the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite 5G - the most affordable smartphone to support the next-gen networks in western markets yet. Fourth position goes to the Redmi Note 9S...
